Having just returned from Russia this month staying for 5 nights at the Hotel Oktiabrskaya. It's in a good position for walking the city ( which is a feat in itself) the hotel is from the Soviet period with a huge presence on Ligovskiy Prospect. It's plain simple and clean......a no frills Russian approach to 4 star accommodation. We booked... More

I had to re-book my hotel in SPB at last minute, so just choosed one, this one, on internet. For a very convenient price I statyed 4 nights. The place is really easy to find, a few steps from metro station. When you enter the place looks like nothing special, and also the room is basic, but it has all... More

Small room but clean, cheap, great staff. Missed meals at restaurant but seemed nice. Room was very clean. Small but well kept. Would call this a great launching point. Close to local bars and restaurants. Secure with door man 24/7. Large hotel so good availibility. Luggage check room very handy and secure.

Terrible, terrible place! They were unfriendly, they changed my bedsheets only once in 7 days, the paint was peeling off the walls (see my photos), breakfast was at their main building so one had to cross the roundabout at the train station through rain and dust and car fumes, bathroom sink was clogged so I had to brush my teeth...

Our room was above a VERY NOISY street, and we could not close the window because it was so hot, with no air conditioning. We also found out later that we did have complimentary breakfasts with...

Perfect for budget travellers coming to the city by train from Moscow - just five minute walk from the station. The metro station is right across the street - one stop to the very center. Although the hotel faces a major road there is no noise if your window looks out into inner courtyard (speaking of the main building). Very... More

We were traveling with a group of 22 students and everyone was pleased with the hotel. The rooms were clean and mine did not smell of residue smoke. Corridors were long and doors were relatively thin but noise was not an issue at this time of year. One note: like so many Russian hotels, the lobby had a madam and... More

Nice hotel in the citycenter. Good quality and no noise from street. Food is exellent and a big variety on breakfastbuffe.

This hotel overlooks possibly the busiest road junction in St. Petersburg so traffic noise is an obvious problem, especially during the white nights season. Despite the fact that the group had requested rooms at the back of the hotel away from the main street, 18 people checked in and I think 17 requested another room the next day because of... More
